I just like to see you look at me unpleasantly, but I have to laugh and pay for food.

The Thai shopkeeper sat in front of the counter, supervising the work, selling grain and collecting money in the account room, while watching the people in front of the counter waving money bags to buy grain, not to mention how beautiful it was. Just now, when he announced that the price of grain would increase by 10 yuan per stone, everyone was still complaining. However, what does it matter, no matter how unhappy you complain, you still don't obediently take out the money bag for me.

The 600 catties of grain sold in limited quantities in the morning were sold out in just one meal.

There were still many people who had not bought food, and they shouted excitedly and asked the Thai shopkeeper to sell them food.

"No, it's really gone, this food can only be delivered at noon. Please have an early afternoon. ”

The shopkeeper was accustomed to this kind of scene, got up and waved his hand, and explained with a smile.

After sending away the reluctant people, the shopkeeper counted the silver coins with bright eyes, and confirmed that there was a lot of copper on the account, and he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. After enjoying it again, he counted ten of them, rewarded two jobs with a painful face, counted ten more and gave it to the bookkeeper, picked out all the broken silver and put it in the sleeve money bag, and the rest of the copper coins were locked in a special iron box.

"After I am gone, the three of you will close the door and keep guard in this shop, and when noon they bring in the grain, you will put it in the cellar and lock it up! When I come in the afternoon, you will open the door. I don't know how much food Laifu can bring this time! If it is less than 3,000 catties, the lord doesn't care if he is a brother-in-law, and he will definitely scold a dog blood sprinkler. ”

The Thai shopkeeper closed his cuffs, ordered the man and the bookkeeper, and went out on his own.

Laifu is his brother-in-law, the second brother of his original wife, who knows a few words, but is articulate, and at the recommendation of his wife, he went to his own grain store to do errands. Because of his eloquence and coarse literacy, he soon rose out and became the steward in charge of grain procurement.

However, this time the flood caused a grain shortage in the granary in the south of the Yangtze River, and it became more and more difficult to purchase grain. Laifu went out to buy grain several times, and each time it went farther and farther each time, and the cost was more than that of one time, but the grain purchased back was less than one time.

This time, the bottom line that the Thai shopkeeper can accept is 3,000 catties, which can be sold for at least two days' of grain.

Of course, he still has some food in his cellar, but it is also very limited, and it can only last a few days. It seems that after coming back this time, he had to immediately let him take people to run north again, and went to the Shandong border to buy it.

As soon as the Thai shopkeeper went out, he saw that the Lu shopkeeper of the Yongfeng grain shop diagonally opposite also came out.

"Hehe, Lao Lu, you're also sold out over there, it's still early, where are we going to drink?"

The Thai shopkeeper hugged his fists and smiled and said hello to the Lu shopkeeper, thinking of finding an opportunity to set up the Lu shopkeeper's words, to explore the procurement channels of his Yongfeng grain shop and how the procurement situation is, in addition, the Thai shopkeeper also has an idea, thinking of partnering with the Lu shopkeeper, together with the Shandong border to purchase food, the strength of the people is also safe, these days I heard them say, the road is not peaceful, those victims saw the grain truck, one by one like hungry wolves like eyes shining.

However, after saying hello, the shopkeeper Tai found that the shopkeeper Lu's face was a little wrong, and he seemed to be a little flustered.

No, since the flood, the business of our grain store has been getting better and better, it is really like grabbing money, it can be said that there is no better era than these days.

The business of Yongfeng grain shop is the same as the business of its own Fengtai grain store, it is very good, and it is making money every day. These days, the shopkeeper Lu is happy like Maitreya Buddha every day, and his mouth can't be closed.

When we met this morning, didn't the shopkeeper Lu still smile like a flower, why did he become like this after a while? ! A panicked face, a little soul-in-the-body?!

Business is booming these days, and the people who are making money every day, shouldn't the Lu shopkeeper be like this?!

Could it be that the shopkeeper Lu has a little back in their Yongfeng grain shop, and they haven't purchased grain today? ! Or is it that the purchased food was robbed by the victims on the way?! There is a problem with grain procurement, and the stock of grain in Yongfeng Grain Store is estimated to be only enough to sell for a few days. These days, the grain shop is a day in the gold, less than a day of sales, that is the loss of gold, the silver-loving Lu shopkeeper, it is strange if the flesh is not painful, and the panic on the face is understandable.

There was a problem with the former competitor, and thinking of this, the Thai shopkeeper couldn't help but have a hint of schadenfreude.

"Lao Tai, Lao Tai, have you heard?"

Seeing the Thai shopkeeper, the Lu shopkeeper seemed to have found a similar one, and trotted all the way to the Thai shopkeeper, looking at the Thai shopkeeper in a panic with small eyes, and said without a beginning or an end.

"Did you hear anything?"

The schadenfreude of the Thai shopkeeper has grown a little stronger, and listening to what the shopkeeper Lu said, he is even more sure that eighty percent of the food in the grain shop of the shopkeeper Lu is a problem.

"Oh, my old Tai, woe to me, woe to me." Shopkeeper Lu grabbed the hand of the shopkeeper Tai, and cold sweat flowed down his fat face, and his panic overflowed.

Yongfeng Grain Store really has a problem, but that's your problem, and the disaster is also your disaster, what does it have to do with me...... Shopkeeper Tai was extremely sure in his heart, and the schadenfreude on his face at this moment was as good as the panic on Shopkeeper Lu's face.

"Lao Tai, my Lao Tai, you ...... How can you still laugh? Shopkeeper Lu caught a glimpse of the smile on the face of Shopkeeper Tai, and suddenly hated that iron could not be made of steel, and let out a long sigh.

This is your misfortune, and not mine, so why can't I laugh?

"Am I smiling? Ahem, how could it be, it must be Lao Lu, you are dazzled. ”

The shopkeeper shook his head vigorously, not admitting that he was laughing, but at this moment, the gloating smile on his face could be suppressed no matter how much he suppressed, and he could still see it at a glance.

"My Lao Tai, a big disaster is coming, today I shop in the manager Zhang went to buy grain, passed by Taizhou Mansion, and saw the owner of the Mi grain store in Fucheng Mi shop......

When Shopkeeper Lu spoke, his face turned uncontrollably pale, and sweat was visible to the naked eye from his forehead.

"What's wrong with the shopkeeper, is he embarrassed? Their Mi family is too domineering, they don't allow us to go to Fucheng to sell grain, and we are not allowed to pass by Fucheng, can't we? ! ”

The Thai shopkeeper said disapprovingly, the Mi shopkeeper is very domineering, but the Thai shopkeeper and the Mi shopkeeper have some roundabout kinship, and I feel that the Mi shopkeeper will not embarrass him.

"What, the Mi shopkeeper of the Mi Grain Store and the Wang Shopkeeper of the Food for the Heavenly Grain Store, the two of them were beheaded by the prefect on the street on charges of raising grain prices, sabotaging disaster relief, and making disaster fortunes!"

Shopkeeper Lu angrily shook off the hand of the shopkeeper Tai, stomped his feet, and said with palpitations.

"What...... What the?! ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, his face was as white as window paper, his legs were suddenly weak, and if he hadn't held on to the crooked neck tree on the side of the road, the whole person would have collapsed to the ground.

"Linhai County, which is next to Fucheng, immediately arrested three grain merchants on charges of inflating grain prices and put them in prison! I heard that Taiping County next door has also started to arrest people. ”

The shopkeeper Lu was like a crow, throwing the bad news to the Thai shopkeeper one after another.

Poof!

It was useless to hold on to the small tree, and the Thai shopkeeper suddenly collapsed on the ground! Pale face!
